Einstein didn't believe....

...in an afterlife either. Here's one of my favorite quotes by Einstein: "I cannot conceive of a god who rewards and punishes his creatures or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves. Neither can I--nor would I want to--conceive of an individual that survives his physical death. Let feeble souls, from fear or absurd egotism, cherish such thoughts. I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life and a glimpse of the marvelous structure of the existing world, togheter with the devoted striving to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifests itself in nature." Note the interesting capitalization: god is not capitalized, but Reason is....Reason is truly sacred. This is what we need to teach our children.
